Plum Blossom, raising a leopard, in the locker room.

In the window of the second floor of the hospitalization building, a woman wearing a white mask poked her body out and waved her hand desperately at the transportation truck: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, little brat, turn off the engine and turn off the engine, in the middle of the night, you ran to me to show me that your engine's voice was loud and screamed loudly."

Chi Xiaochi said, "Caught a bear."

The woman shooed him away, "I'm not a storehouse! Go, go, go."

Chi Xiaochi stretched her arms out in front of her, lying on the dashboard and smiling, "And I brought you back a nurse."

The woman's eyes lit up and she turned around and ran out the door, forgetting her coat.

When Denton came downstairs, she was still wearing the mask that covered half of her face.

She pulled the girl's wrist in a frenzy, overjoyed: "I was just thinking about the lack of manpower, but you really brought me back one? Captain Ding, thank you."

Chi Xiaochi took a white plum from a small flowerbed in the courtyard and stuck it on the dashboard: "Something for Captain Ding, nothing for the little brat."

The woman's smile is about to come out from the bottom of her eyes: "Cheng Cheng Cheng, I recognize whatever you say about me. ...... Girl, my surname is Lu, call me Sister Lu from now on, looks like you just graduated from college, right? ...... Have you been working in the hospital for a year? That's great! I'll go get you some clothes, you quickly go take a shower, all bear smell. ...... Oops, sorry, sorry, bear smell is literal, it's all Ding's fault, he did something wrong, he put a girl like you and a bear together... Wait, Ding! Ding Qiuyun! You stole my plum blossoms again!"

Chi Xiaochi, who had already skidded silently to the hospital entrance with his truck, found out that he had been exposed, stepped on the gas, and swished away.

The new junior nurse was still clueless about what was in front of her.

Hearing Sister Lu's words, the young nurse asked in surprise, "Do you have hot water here?"

Hot water, to the little nurse, counted entirely as a luxury.

For the past two years, she has remained in one city, serving the new humans.

If it weren't for a neo-human who tried to violate her and had a tendency to not stop until he got his mouth on her, she wouldn't have had to run away in company with her boyfriend.

After being rescued by Chi Xiaochi and others, they made a pact with the duo.

The girl would stay at the hospital first, while her little boyfriend would be sent by them to the power plant to get acquainted with his surroundings first, and then tomorrow at noon they would bring him back for another visit to familiarize them with the little town and explain the rules of inhabiting it.

Sister Lu pointed to the distance, "We have a boiler room to protect us from the cold. This is an old thing that a few college students came up with by comparing it to the drawings in textbooks and old materials, and not to mention, it works pretty well. Everyone takes turns washing it, so at least everyone gets a bath every two days."

The little nurse said enviously, "Old humans like us can only take a bath once every five days. And the baths are only worthy of lukewarm water."

"Hey, what's the match." Lou said, "It's all human."

The young nurse loved the nagging, motherly Lou.

As she walked with her toward the hospital wing, the young nurse said, "People are still different. The new humans never treat us like humans."

Lou replied, "I'm the new human, I don't think so."

Little Nurse: "......"

"Forget it, I'm not pulling the mask for fear of scaring you." Sister Lu seemed to notice the little nurse's dilemma, turned her head and smiled brightly, "I'll tell you in advance, we have new humans, old humans, animals, and defected AIs here.This world, ah, there's bad and there's good."

After settling the little nurse's boyfriend, Chi Xiaochi takes the bear to the storage facility.

There are people in the library who are responsible for slaughtering and disposing of the goods they hunt.

Three large lamps lit the slaughterhouse brightly, separating the bear meat from the bear skin steaming in the warm yellow light.

The members of the team involved in the bear hunt had long ago agreed that the meat should be divided according to merit and demand, while the remaining bear meat, after registering the pounds, was deposited in the public cold storage.

The keys to each of the 18 public storage vaults throughout the city require three keys to be inserted into the lock holes at the same time in order to open them, and all three keys have to be kept by three different people.

And Chi Xiaochi, as the man in charge of the city, keeps one of the keys to each vault, 18 in all.

Chi Xiaochi has never been a collective economy, and except for the elderly and children, who are given preferential treatment, young and old men and women are expected to work, either farming, hunting, or selling the necessities of life that they find themselves, whichever they prefer.

No matter how much is harvested, it is at your disposal and you can keep it or take it out in exchange.

The whole family just sits around with their mouths open and drinks the northwest wind.

As for stealing and looting, it's just a thought, no one dares to do it.

After all, here, as long as you work hard you will have food and never starve to death, whereas in the post-apocalyptic world embezzling other people's supplies is tantamount to murder, and getting caught is a death sentence.

Chi Xiaochi retrieved a chunk of bear meat, intending to go back and cook it for his coal boss.

To keep down the fishy odor, he ate a milkshake.

Amidst the faint scent of plum blossoms and the warm aroma of milk candies, he sped through the city of night, returning to the Ding family's small home at the east end of town.

His parents were already asleep, so Chi Xiaochi turned off the engine a hundred meters from the house and slowly slid into the yard, scuffing his feet against the ground.

The owner of his house also dutifully slowed down and joined him in the small courtyard as if he were taking a stroll.

Chi Xiaochi first cut the meat into two large and two small pieces, and then went to the small warming hut in the yard to pull out some green onions and carrots, and hot simmered the bear meat over a small fire.

Probably having grown up with it feeding on his slippery tongue, his coal boss had tastes similar to humans and never ate raw meat.

Like today, after he bit the black bear's neck off, he immediately went to the nearby creek, chiseled through the ice, and cleaned himself up before squatting tamely back down at Chi Xiaochi's feet, licking the center of his paw with graceful movements.

It never needs Chi Xiaochi to bother cleaning it.

Put the stew on, and Chi Xiaochi goes to the dressing room to change.

He was just halfway out of his turtleneck sweater when the door jacked open.

When the cold wind leaked in, Chi Xiaochi instinctively avoided it, slightly bending her waist and turning sideways to avoid the cold wind.

He was blindfolded by his turtleneck sweater, just in time for the double-take.

He asked, "Who is it?"

There was no answer, and the door was closed silently and thoughtfully.

Chi Xiaochi smelled a familiar feline odor.

Only the sunlight that pours over the fur in the daytime leaves such a distinctive smell.

Chi Xiaochi smiled and continued to concentrate on taking off her sweater.

At first, the general consensus was that the baby milk panther was a cat.

By the time Father and Mother Ting realized that this piece of shit wasn't growing in the right direction, it was too late.

They told Chi Xiaochi twice that they would send the leopard away as soon as it was old enough to live on its own.

After all, this was a wild animal, even if it had been raised in a zoo, and in the end, it was still going to eat meat.

If one day they cut off the food and can't provide it with food, and it gets hungry and jumps up to eat someone to satisfy its cravings, who is it going to talk to?

At the urging of his father and mother, Chi Xiaochi was persuaded to do the same.

He didn't want to risk those teammates.

But as soon as he went out and saw the little panther with Chi Xiaochi's helmet strap in his mouth, crouching by his motorcycle, his heart went three shades of crispy first.

Chi Xiaochi took the helmet and asked it as she put it on, "Do you want to go."

The half-grown panther crouched and owed sweetly.

Chi Xiaochi: "I don't understand. Mr. Six, translate."

061 says, "It says, please don't worry, it will eat very little and can even learn to be a vegetarian, and please don't send it away because it likes you very, very much."

Chi Xiaochi : "Mr. Six, don't you donkey me. It clearly only barked once."

061 said gently and surely, "It does say that."

And so it stayed.

Chi Xiaochi's turtleneck sweater is so thick and constricting, especially at the neck, that you have to struggle for a long time every time you take it off.

As he spoke, an additional heat source appeared beside him.

Here we go again, he thought helplessly as he wrestled hard with his sweater.

Chi Xiaochi tried to negotiate with Leopard, urning through a layer of sweater, "Stop it, I'm especially tired after two days of running this time. Good boy."

The panther paced slowly around him, still pressing its hot head against his waist.

Chi Xiaochi is very sorry.

Taking advantage of its hour and sucking the panther too much himself probably made it mistake it for a way to show intimacy.

Nowadays, it has no way of making ends meet without sucking on itself twice a day.

Sure enough, it buried its face in Ding Qiuyun's beautiful abs and took a deep breath.

Chi Xiaochi, while obediently being sucked, thought, "This is probably the legendary turn of the wind and water.

It's just that the feng shui is turning a bit evil today.

He was on the verge of ripping his sweater off when he felt an extremely strong force press down on his shoulders, holding him down from the front.

Despite the heated walls in the house, the floor was still bitterly cold, and Chi Xiaochi sucked in a breath of cold air from the ice, forcing her to give up her tussle with her sweater and reach up to wrap her arms around the panther's neck, and her legs around the panther's strong, lean waist, pushing her hips up as far as she could, away from the floor.

He couldn't see anything in front of him, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of mothballs on his sweater, the sunny scent of panther fur, and the fishy smell that was unique to the beast and called for weakness in the legs.

He put his face close to his boss and whispered, "That's being an asshole. Get me up."

The boss has always been quiet, except when it comes to threatening other creatures.

He didn't say a word, only the sound of his exhale, wrapped in hot air, echoed in his ears and tickled Chi Xiaochi's body.

Luckily, the boss, being a generous leopard, didn't tease him for too long and sat back nicely, relieving Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi sat cross-legged on it and stroked the back of its neck, "Good leopard."

Before he could finish his sentence, he licked Chi Xiaochi's right ear.

The coarse particles of his tongue skimmed over his earlobe with a somewhat overbearing force, almost giving Chi Xiaochi the illusion that his ear had been bruised.

The lick felt like it landed directly on his mental body, licking Chi Xiaochi's legs.

He tsked, "Why can't you help but brag."

As if he had understood Chi Xiaochi's words, he gently bit Chi Xiaochi's sweater in order to atone for his sins and helped him to take off his clothes, as if he were serving his beloved companion.

Chi Xiaochi's battle with the sweater finally ended in victory.

When he was able to see the light of day again, the first thing that entered his eyes were the eyes of the panther.

Those gray-blue, crystal-textured eyes were looking at him warmly and lovingly.

He rests his chin lightly into Chi Xiaochi's collarbone and rubs it gently.

Holding such a mobile self-propelled small heater, and being relied on by it with such full trust, Chi Xiaochi's heart was also too soft, hugging its head and kissing it on the ear: "Stop it, I'm going to get up."

The panther was happy and circled Chi Xiaochi's calves a few more times before heading out the door with a changed Chi Xiaochi.

A pot of bear meat, most of which went to the coal boss, and the meat at the bottom of the pot went to Chi Xiaochi.

He downed a bit of noodles and tofu on the bright brown broth sauce.

Belt noodles are pliable and firm, with a smooth texture, and tofu is cooked in the gravy, which is perfect for reducing fat and absorbing juice, and cooked in a pot alone, it smells so good that people's mouths and tongues are full, and their noses eat it first.

Chi Xiaochi ate a head full of sweat.

061 looked at the way he ate, knew he was really hungry, and was a bit distressed, "Eat slowly."

Chi Xiaochi exhaled a hot breath, "It's okay."

He ate for a while and then said to 061, "In a couple days, I'll go out again."

061 was surprised, "No two days off?"

Chi Xiaochi picked up a chopstick of noodles and blew on it twice so that it would cool down quickly, "It's our mission."

The word "we" is so comforting to the ear that 061's voice involuntarily smiles: "Gu Xinzhi?"

In the past two years, Chi Xiaochi has been raising leopards, reclaiming land, pulling together teams, and establishing bases, as if he has completely left Gu Xinzhi behind as a target for the raiders.

Only 061 knows that he has not forgotten Gu Xinzhi for a single day in these two years.

Chi Xiaochi picked up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks and smiled wryly like a small fox, "I'll have to go test the efficacy of my 397 dream-making cards."
